Feedback due to D17076
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Due to D17076 a lot of users on my instance have complained about these useful fields missing. Particularly around patching. It seems that a lot of users find it tedious to go "figure out" how to apply a patch or land a branch.

I know you guys plan to address this in T12027 but hearing the feedback form my users it sounds like they really miss the convenience of having a nice thing they could easily copy and execute on the command line. This seems to be due to two things:

  • The differential UI does not show any easily copiable text of the DXXX identifier of the review

    is not easily highlightable or large enough to be obvious/useful for this
  • there is no command line way to get back a list of reviews (with their identifiers) that are active for the current repo. This could allow someone to lookup the right ID to use easily.

Having this information back is currently the most often requested feature on my instance. A lot of non-power users really got used to the convenience and never learned much about the arc commands. Not sure how to really address this one since this is also the same group of users that prefers UI's instead of command lines.

Not sure of the best title for this.
